Hmmm;
You can always have window screen cut to size and place it over the tank to block light. Sorry, I never emphasized the problems with to0 much light. It's just, so many people already said something. Why say it again and again. My two cent concerning the use of a siesta. I understand that people do it and have a certian amount of success. But, if I were to turn on the lights before I go to work they would come on mighty early and my fish would jump out of their skins. Besides, I can see mine just fine from the rooms ambient light in the morning.
P.S. I'm not much of a DIY person myself. That is what works so great with this filter adaptation. You have one hole to drill. The drill hole doesn't even have to be a perfect fit for the CO2 line. I do understand your apprehension though. No problem. All good.

You should be able to adapt your power head in some fashion. The CO2 has already run through a reactor. All you need, is to run the CO2 line to an aerator on the pump if it has one or at the intake opening if not. Much easier to clean and keep an eye on the CO2 then with the JBL.Steven said:Sadly Tug, I'm not that DIY-er, I even doubt my own skill but thank you.
